SURF CONDITIONS
NEW YORK Derek Jeter homered, Jorge Posada had three hits, Andy Pettitte dazzled and Mariano Rivera closed it out. Nothing more fitting on the day World Series rings were handed out in the Bronx. The core four each picked up championship bling No. 5, then led the New York Yankees to a win in their home opener Tuesday, 7-5 over the Los Angeles Angels in front of a record-crowd that included owner George Steinbrenner. The Angels’ Hideki Matsui might have gotten the loudest ovation of the stirring ceremony that celebrated the Yankees’ 27th title, with fans welcoming back the World Series MVP. But the stars who’d worn pinstripes the longest wound up as winners, once again. With the 2009 World Series banner whipping in a chilly breeze, Pettitte (1-0) returned to the Yankee Stadium mound for the first time since he won the clinching Game 6 against Philadelphia last November. He threw 100 pitches in six crisp innings as the Yankees dropped the Angels to 2-6, their
worst start since 1972. Rivera was needed to earn his third save after another ex-Yankee, Bobby Abreu, hit a grand slam in the ninth off Dave Robertson to make it 7-5. Matsui was mobbed by his former teammates near the mound after getting his ring in the pregame festivities. He was regaled with a prolonged standing salute when he stepped into the batter’s box in the first inning. The Angels’ designated hitter stepped out and tipped his helmet before striking out — another cheer — to end the inning and got tangled with Posada, who playfully tagged him a couple of times. Matsui went 0 for 4 in front of a record regular-season crowd of 49,293 at the ballpark, now in its second year. Jeter, who led off the Yankees’ last regularseason home game with a home run, hit his first homer of the year in the fourth and hit a sharp grounder off Ervin Santana’s thigh for another RBI in the fifth. Nick Johnson also homered for New York, who hit team-record 136 homers in their first year at the ballpark.
